"Wow. If you really think that was a good idea, maybe your mum should rethink having YOU was a good idea."

"Who's eating popping candy? I hope you brought enough for everybody. I like big bags. Pop your fucking head off!"

Karen's notes: Adam was silent last night. These are some that I've stashed away for such days.

Completely irrelevant plug: I PROMISE not to make a habit of using this space to promote things unrelated-- and I ask your pardon in advance-- but this is too close to my heart for me to let it go by completely unmentioned. If you live in the Boston area, you might want to check out the amazingly cool show that my brother wrote and directed. It's described as a "punk cabaret fairy tale," and has been getting a nice bit of press. It opens next week. Details here: www.performancelaboratory.com.

  10. lmao @ purpley/pink sox - it takes a brave man to admit that lol ;-)

    Good luck to your brother and his play!
    Karen, you're notes are great! They're especially welcomed when there's no audio ;-) and when it's a slow or archived night :-D

    Anyhoo, I'm rambling again, so Cheers!

  12. Wow this is a very cold hearted response. To tell someone that they are so incompetent to the extent that there very life should be considered a mistake is truly an insult of the highest degree. I don’t think people realize the extent of their insults or the gravity of their opinions on the minds of the individuals or groups they are aimed at. Our society has become so desensitized by popular culture that insults like these have become commonplace.

  15. I'm not originally from Boston, but I did live in Waltham for 4 years (university) and, later, Cambridge for 3 years (grad school). My brother has lived there for a really long time. This is the first show for his new theatre company, so it's a VERY big deal.

  16. It's true, he has a maggot phobia. He can't even hear the word.

  18. How cool! Your brother's show looks fabulous. I'm in the midst of a move from LA to Massachusetts...this would be a very fun thing to do.

  19. Yay, Em! I think it's going to be great.

  20. I think my Mom did rethink that... ;)

  21. Better to say these things in sleep and share them with us than to act as if you meant them during the day. I have worked with people who never spoke their anger but it oozed out between the silences anyway and hurt people's feelings just as much.

  24. Anon @ 16:09 -- more like this culture is more sensitive and wimpy than any other ever before, to let mere words hurt them in such a way. Thank God I grew up poor and made fun of in school for it. I got the opportunity to grow a thick skin, not let things bother me, and learn to prioritise and how to choose a true friend from one who only care about superficial things. And especially not to give a second of thought to random words from a stranger on the internet. I mean, really??

    Sorry for the tangent, K + A. Thanks for all the laughs! Keep those brilliant, only-the-English-could-do-it-so-well-even-in-their-sleep insults coming!

  25. I LIVE IN BOSTON!!! I'll make sure to see it!!!

  26. "I hope you brought enough for EVERYbody......"

    Couldn't help but think of Harvey Korman in 'Blazing Saddles'..........

    *BANG!*

  27. Dear *:

    Really? Is there buzz about it? I now it's been in some papers, and he's going to be on NPR and stuff, but you really can't sense actual buzz from 3000 miles away. I miss out on stuff like that being over here.

    ReplyDelete
  28. OMG is your brother Jason Slavick? I work with him all the time for years now. How small is the world?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ditto from me - plug away, Karen, and I hope your brother has a wonderful time with his first show!

    LOL - it's time to watch Blazing Saddles again...

  30. My mother tried to commit suicide when she was pregnant with me, so does this count as "re-thinking"? I sit here trying to think of something funny to say in reply, while Adam does it in his SLEEP! Am so depressed I think I'll go perform a self-induced "post-natal abortion", especially after getting passed over by Jennifer Anniston for another guy in my sleep last night... But wait, then I'd miss out on my favorite website. Changed my mind. All kidding aside, I LOVE life and LOVE reading Adam's sleep talk!!! Dream on!

  31. Hi Karen! (side note i really enjoy the blog, a mini vaca during rough days at work) I went to an art college in maine and grew up in the boston area, so between the two I do hear a bit of buzz from the art scene now and again. From what I've heard just about all of my artsy friends are trying to get tickets. At one point they did say the tix were sold out indefinately, which is where my first comment came from, but now it looks like theres more so I'm thrilled I'll have a chance to go. Boston can be a rough crowd, esp. towards the art population but like I said, its quite a big deal to get a ticket so he must be doing something right! I'll keep you updated if I happen across anything you hadnt mentioned.
